Quotes

It was Friday evening. A light rain had just stopped, just right to cool down the wind and clear up the sky in preparation of sunset. I was sitting at Starbucks Coffee to cool down myself, and thinking of which photo should I submit for WordPress’ Weekly Photo Challenge, Rule of Thirds.

When I pop back from my thought, the sky has turned to bright red. Suddenly I remembered a poem that I read a couple of years ago. A poem that reminds me not to go to fast. To spare times to call your friends, talk with your family and loved one, and to have fun.

The poem was, and still resonates with me. I quote the poem below the photo, written nicely by David L. Weatherford. You can read the original poem here.

Have a Nice Weekend, and remember to slow down

Slow Dance, A Poem by David L. Weatherford

Have you ever watched kids, On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain, Slapping on the ground?

Ever followed a butterfly’s erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?

You better slow down. Don’t dance too fast.
Time is short. The music won’t last.

Do you run through each day, On the fly?
When you ask: How are you? Do you hear the reply?

When the day is done, do you lie in your bed,
With the next hundred chores, Running through your head?
